Radio: Under the Gun

For most of its 30 minutes, Time for Defense (Tues. 10 p.m., ABC) moves
in a familiar groove: detailed battle reports by Department of Defense
officials, interviews with top brass, music by the U.S. Air Force band.
But for several tense minutes each show, listeners are carried from
their armchairs across 6,000 miles of the Pacific. Last week they were
pressed hard against a low stone wall rimming a Korean rice field and
hearing the clatter of U.S. .50-cal. machine guns as they sprayed an
enemy-infested hillside.
